Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 377: The Emperor must have had a deeper meaning in doing this, right?

"The Imperial Tutor is not only His Majesty's teacher, but also the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"He was kind to others and cultivated many good relationships..."

For the guards, Ning Fengzhi was an extremely powerful person; they could boast about him for a long time after just one meeting.

There are so many city gates, yet the other party insists on entering the city from the gate in his direction. Isn't that a kind of fate?

Is it possible that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is located in this direction?

In a short while, the formalities were completed, and Xiao was able to enter the city.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin arrived at the Zhongli residence.

It was around 10 a.m. Zhongli was puzzled by Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's arrival, but he still invited them into the house for a chat.

Ning Fengzhi had a smile on his face, looking spirited and ten years younger.

Even Chen Xin only thought that he was happy because of the newborn child and the breakthrough to the Title Douluo level.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi was happy partly because of these two things, but more so because of the joy of getting closer to the realm of God.

"Eh, Sect Leader Ning, did something happen on your way here?"

"So happy."

Paimon stared with his big eyes and asked in confusion.

Ning Fengzhi used to always have a gloomy look on his face. Although he seemed normal, he was never truly happy.

Such a genuine smile is almost unheard of.

After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment, shook his head, and smiled, "Something interesting did happen on the way here, but it's not the reason I'm happy."

Zhong Li put down his teacup and glanced thoughtfully at Ning Fengzhi.

This person is probably happy because of the matter of divine inheritance.

The legacy of the Nine-Colored Goddess...

Ning Fengzhi obtaining the inheritance of the Nine-Colored Goddess was, to put it mildly, somewhat unexpected.

The martial spirit is somewhat suitable, but the inheritance...

"Oh~"

"What interesting thing happened?"

Seeing Paimon staring at him with curious eyes, Ning Fengzhi was about to explain, but he swallowed the words back.

Wait a minute, Paimon isn't asking him why he's happy, but instead asking about funny things?

This...this is so Paimon!

With a helpless sigh, Ning Fengzhi recalled for a moment and said, "When we entered the city, Uncle Jian and I saw a young man. This young man was extremely handsome, but he was a little short, less than 1.6 meters tall."

When Ning Fengzhi described Xiao's appearance and process, Zhong Li and Pai Meng were slightly taken aback. Why did they feel a sense of familiarity?

"This young man has an extraordinary appearance and demeanor. I thought I should make a good connection and help him if I could, so I paid his entrance fee."

"Last time it was at this same city gate, by a middle-aged man whose name was something like..."

If Ning Fengzhi encountered such a situation, he would always lend a hand.

For him, a single gold soul coin meant nothing; it was always better to forge a good relationship.

What if one of the people these people know is exceptionally talented?

What if these people are actually exceptional individuals?

Investing involves risks, and he didn't have high hopes.

What if it actually works?

Besides, it's not bad to gain a good reputation in this way.

Chen Xin remained silent. He noticed that Ning Fengzhi had changed subtly recently, seeming much more cheerful than before.

Having been the sect leader for so many years, he had never truly smiled, because the pressure on him was simply too great.

But from some point onwards, Ning Fengzhi's face was always full of smiles. Although Chen Xin couldn't figure it out, she didn't say anything.

Can't people be happy?

Even if he is the sect leader, he should try to minimize personal emotions and not say anything about him in this kind of matter.

Ning Fengzhi did a very good job of keeping secrets about obtaining the divine inheritance.

No one in the entire sect knew about this except for himself. Firstly, he was a support character and was afraid that the news would leak and bring about his death.

Secondly, before he became a god, it wouldn't have made much difference if he said these things. He was already the sect leader and could allocate all resources.

Whether you say it or not, it won't have much of an impact.

Just then, the door rang rhythmically again, and Zhong Li seemed to sense something, his brows furrowing.

This time, instead of waving his hand and opening the door directly, he flashed away from the three people's sight, reappeared at the doorway, and opened the door himself.

Zhong Li: "..."

It's normal to see no one when looking straight ahead.

"Your Majesty..."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Paimeng also quickly walked out of the hall and arrived at the main entrance.

"elf!"

Paimon exclaimed in surprise, she had no idea that Xiao was among the people who came this time!

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were both taken aback when they saw the newcomer and Paimon's reaction.

Isn't that the guy at the city gate?

You know each other?

She wanted to see who Zhongli would personally open the door for, but she never expected it to be this young man.

"Paimon..."

"So it's the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons! Zhongli has been so unkind in welcoming you. Please come in quickly!"

Zhong Li seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao and Paimon were stunned, bewildered, and completely incredulous, making for a truly fascinating scene.

The two exchanged a glance; Zhongli was still the same Zhongli...

Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

The guy who is "respected" by Zhongli must be someone of great importance!

Xiao's eyes twitched slightly. Although he didn't understand why Zhongli would do this, he was sure there was a deeper meaning behind it!

He glanced at the people who had paid his entrance fee and was surprised to find them there as well.

Paimon rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless. She remembered how Xiao had been particularly embarrassed during the Lantern Festival.

The most powerful poet in Mondstadt arrived, namely the wind god Barbatos.

Then Zhongli and Barbatos pretended to be ordinary people, while Xiao was the universally acknowledged Great Sage Who Subdues Demons...

At that moment, everyone, whether they knew the truth or not, fell silent.

Perhaps only Hu Tao believes that all of this is true.

After Xiao entered the hall somewhat awkwardly, everyone sat down again.

Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi looked at Xiao with curiosity.

"Thank you so much for your generosity, sir."

Xiao cupped his hands in greeting and addressed Ning Fengzhi.

Zhongli and Paimeng then realized that the young man Ning Fengzhi had mentioned, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, was actually Xiao...

Well, this young man is probably older than Ning Fengzhi's great-great-great-great-great-grandfather...

Because of the characteristics of a Yaksha, his appearance will not change.

Zhongli was also observing Xiao, and upon seeing him, she was quite pleased.

The curse on Xiao's body had completely vanished without a trace!

At the same time, Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the curse had disappeared, because he was also helpless against this brother and could only suppress him at most.
